How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A morally murky seduction thriller where a calculating nephew uses a vulnerable nurse to access his uncle's wealth, unfolding with the creeping dread of schemes colliding with genuine feeling. The film plays elegantly with who deserves your sympathy, if anyone.
